</p><p>The central DCMS spending figure over the last four years has been significantly
lower than the figures between 2007 and 2010. In each of those financial years the
figure was over £65,000 and in 2009-10 it was £82,076. In just four years, this spending
figure has been cut by some 90 per cent, demonstrating this Government’s determination
to avoid the worst excesses of the past.</p><p> </p>
